Forth Valley College staff to lose jobs

13 members of staff at Forth Valley College are facing redundancy, as a consultation closes today.

The College has announced spending cuts - blaming inflation and reduced Scottish Government funding.

Bosses say they've been left with "no choice".

Workers are being told to re-apply for jobs, or take voluntary severance.

Meanwhile, some courses will be removed, and evening classes at the Alloa campus have been scrapped.

New FVC Principal and Chief Executive Kenny MacInnes, said: “It is with regret that one of the first major duties I need to be involved in as Principal, is to oversee a consultation process. However, our confirmed funding allocation and challenging external environment, means this is a worrying time for the College. Senior Management have made every effort to minimise the impact on staff, however unfortunately, we have been left with no choice but to propose further measures to ensure the financial stability of the College."
